The race for the English Premier league title is heated up as Manchester City closes gap on league leaders Arsenal
Erling Haaland’s four-goal haul ensured Manchester City continued their Premier League title charge with a 5-1
Arsenal moved four points clear at the top with their 3-0 win over AFC Bournemouth but Haaland eased any City nerves with his dominant first-half hat-trick at Etihad Stadium.
That quickfire treble included two penalties before Haaland added to his tally after the interval – following Hwang Hee chan’s consolation goal – to move to a competition-leading 25 goals this season.
Haaland’s replacement Julian Alvarez added further gloss late on as City, who have a match in hand on Arsenal, cut the gap to the Gunners to only one point. Wolves remain 11th after a run of only one win in their past eight league games.
